SMLS carbon steel pipe sizes
SMLS stands for Seamless, commonly used in terms such as SMLS pipe or seamless steel pipe. Unlike welded pipes, seamless pipes do not contain fusion lines, making them structurally uniform and mechanically reliable under demanding service conditions. Here's an overview of SMLS carbon steel pipe sizes.

How to select C channel size?
Selecting the correct C channel size is a critical step in structural design, fabrication, and project cost control. An undersized C channel may lead to excessive deflection or failure, while an oversized section increases material cost and weight without added benefit. This guide explains how to choose the right C channel size based on load requirements, span length, application type, and relevant standards—from an engineering and practical procurement perspective.

A complete comparision of cold formed steel and structural steel
Cold formed steel (CFS) and structural steel are both widely used in modern construction due to their strength, durability, and cost efficiency. Although both materials are steel-based, they differ significantly in manufacturing methods, structural behavior, and ideal applications. Understanding the difference between cold formed steel and structural steel is essential for architects, engineers, and project managers when selecting the most appropriate framing system.

What are the different types of structural steel frames?
A structural steel frame is a load-bearing framework composed of steel beams, columns, and girders that form the primary skeleton of a building. This framework supports walls, floors, and roofs, transferring structural loads safely to the foundation. Due to steel’s high strength, ductility, and dimensional stability, structural steel framing is widely used in modern commercial, industrial, and high-rise construction. Different types of structural steel frames are selected based on building height, load distribution method, and span requirements.
